Grub VGA Modes
Posts: 228
Hello Group:
I would like to know what " MODE # " I can replace in Grub in the line that says, " vga=788 ".?? I would like to use a 800 X 600 mode.
I have put in the following, " vga=normal xref=800x600 ".?? But I am not sure if I actually am useing this or my input of " 0 " when I first booted up.?? There is a line in Grub that says " savedefault ", so I am not sure what is being used.

Here's a table showing frame buffer vga modes:
The vga= setting only effects the frame buffer, not X (unless you're using the fbdev driver in X). This'll mean that your console will display at this resolution.
Changes to the X resolution can be made in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
savedefault is used to make the default boot option the one last selected. e.g. you select "Windows" when booting, on the next boot "Windows" will be the default.
